Try running with verbose output. You should also perform the test as  
the nagios user. --

check_smtp -H mail.xxx.com -v

What version of the plugins are you using? There were a number of  
issues with check_smtp in old releases that have since been fixed.  
There was a problem similar to this with Exchange; it wouldn't QUIT  
properly or something like that. If you're using an older version and  
the verbose output above doesn't show anything interesting, try  
upgrading to the latest plugins or at least the latest check_smtp.
